IBM launches MySpace for mainframes
IBM aims to leverage social networking by building an online meeting
place for users of its System z mainframes. It says the Web-based
portal, called Destination z, gives customers a place to discuss and
debate mainframe usage, exchange ideas and seek technical advice.
I especially liked the quote: "A cynic might wonder if
<http://www.ibm.com/systems/destinationz>Destination z is mostly an
attempt to off-load the business of support onto other customers.
However, it is often true that - if the social side is done right -
the best help comes from fellow users who've been through the same problems. "
Or, there's nothing that can beat SHAREing.
